History of Ideas concerns how our conception of the world and cultural performances have been formed and how they have influenced people throughout the ages. Study in this discipline provides a broad education and places many of today's current issues in a broader context. In the History of Ideas, one learns to think independently, through a dialogue with other people of other times and cultures.
Application developers often do not know how efficient their code is and where the performance limit lies. Performance optimizations, if any, often are restricted to trial-and-error rewrites and performance sampling. Inefficient code, both serial and parallel, tends to scale well and hides the fact that running this code on an HPC cluster is a huge waste of computational resources.
This course covers key concepts on how to write highly efficient sequential and multithreaded code.

Insects are highly important for our daily lives and the environment. The best-known ecological service provided by insects is pollination, but insects are also important as decomposers, natural pest managers and as prey for many other animals. This makes insects integral for almost every ecosystem.
However, insects are in a worldwide decline, which endangers ecosystems and directly affects our future lives.

Computational design optimization is a research area in which simulations are combined with computational optimization algorithms to find the best design for different components.
Computer simulations are now an important cost- and time-effective complement to traditional prototype-based product development. Thus, computational design optimization is a natural part of the digitalization of the manufacturing industry.

At Karlstad University, there are several faculty specific collaborations that are managed by individual departments. Examples of these are a semester in India.
Special needs teacher programme at Karlstad University continues last year’s well attended network day for special needs teachers and special education teachers, professional practitioners and students on 24 November 2017.
The aim is to create opportunities for fruitful meetings within the professional field and between the field and the university. The organisation is similar to last year’s with lectures and seminars on different themes.
Marie Karlsson Tuula, a Professor of Civil Law at Karlstad University, has been appointed one of the 2020 ambassadors against honour-based violence by the national organisation GAPF (Glöm aldrig Pela och Fadime). The reason is that she has taken an important stand against honour-based violence and is committed to working against it.
“It feels amazing and surprising,” says Marie Karlsson Tuula.

Living in homelessness has a significant impact on a person's living conditions and sense of belonging, putting the meaning of home at stake, as well as the universal need to call a place home. The goal of this project is to contribute knowledge about girls' own experiences of living in homelessness without their legal guardians.
Girls who experience homelessness without their parents after being forced to leave home form a particularly vulnerable group in Sweden.
In a new three-year project, researchers at CTF, Service Research Center at Karlstad University, will develop new knowledge about elderly's travel habits. The purpose is to map factors that may be important for changed behavior and more sustainable travel habits among the elderly.
This year the conference hosts ten workshops, covering different aspects of the political science research field. Here you find information about them as well as contact details for the researchers responsible for each of the workshops. Please note the description below for how to submit an abstract.
To submit an abstract for a workshop in which you wish to participate follow the link posted under that particular workshop.
One third of all the food that is being produced today is thrown away. Why is that? What can producers, service providers and consumers do to reduce food waste? What role does packing play?
The research programme Reduced climate risks in future housing and dwelling - learning from previous events and societal planning, was a three year programme funded by Stiftelsen länsförsäkringars forskningsfond, the research fund of insurance company Länsförsäkringar.
Swedish society is repeatedly affected by extreme weather.
In her doctoral thesis, “Tensions experienced and balancing strategies used in Agile Software Development environments”, Carin Lindskog focuses on the contradictions and tensions that can arise when applying agile working methods.
- There is still a lack of knowledge even though it has been around for over twenty years.
- My thesis aims to contribute to our understanding of Agile Software Development (ASD), says Carin Lindskog, who recently completed her PhD in Informati
